- W581736287 abstract "This paper presents a case study of an unsuccessful sales tax initiative in the 10-county Atlanta region. In July 2012, the Atlanta region overwhelmingly rejected the transportation sales tax referendum with only 38 percent in favor. Geographic voter results suggest a division between urban and suburban interests, showing a radial trend of decreased “yes” votes originating from the center of the city projecting outward. Though no single county voted in favor, the City of Atlanta passed the referendum 58 to 42 percent. Interviews with participants having various levels of involvement identified a number of contributing factors for the failure of the referendum. The consensus among those interviewed was that no one single factor caused the defeat of the referendum. From the interview responses, it seems clear that there were tactical issues associated with the timing, decision making approach, and the resulting process of developing a list of projects to be funded by the referendum. In addition, national issues such as the economic recession, an upcoming presidential election, and a trend toward fiscal conservatism certainly contributed to the defeat of the referendum. However, there is evidence from other parts of the country that, even in times of economic hardship, voters will still vote in favor of transportation referenda. The key takeaways from the Atlanta experience are that voters will not support referenda initiatives unless it is clear what benefits will accrue from the investment, and that a credible and accountable governance structure is in place for implementing the program." @default.
